The new ThinkTop IO-Link valve sensing and control units support intelligent manufacturing as industries like the dairy, food, beverage industries through to home-personal care and pharmaceutical industries start to leverage Industry 4.0 technologies to improve quality, efficiency, safety and competitiveness.
“Suddenly it’s easier to capture, store, analyse and act upon meaningful data,” says René Stietz, portfolio manager, Alfa Laval. “You get all the finesse of the newly reengineered Alfa Laval ThinkTop—and valuable benefits like more data, higher productivity and higher yields.”
As always, Alfa Laval says it brings evolutionary thinking to its valve sensing and control units and the ThinkTop IO-Link is no exception. Notable new features include: faster installation time due to convenient M12 connectors and automatic recording of the hygienic valve stroke duration; smarter time adjustments because priority can be assigned to critical data; data and process parameters can easily be changed from a remote automation system; and enhanced data storage, availability and analytics help improve operations.
Like the ThinkTop V50 and V70 series, the ThinkTop IO-Link covers all valve requirements and fits the Alfa Laval DV-ST, butterfly, single seat, double seat and special valves.
